Re: [AMBER] Error in Steered QM/MM MD

This line

cuda_diag_: Assertion `CUSOLVER_STATUS_SUCCESS == cusolver_status' failed.

indicates what happened: Matrix diagonalization on the GPU failed. It could be due to a bad structure.

You should have a file quick.out that contains the output for the QUICK QM portion of the simulation of all time steps. Check towards the end of the file if anything looks suspicious. You can check whether the structure of the QM region looks reasonable.

All the best,
Andy

Not sure what is happening, but I would guess the SCF calculation within QUICK is not converging, probably due to a bad structure.


Also, I think you need to worry about this line in your slurm scrpt:

"/home/srabanimd/amber24/amber.sh: Permission denied"

Hey Kriti,

Would you be able to show us your input file (amber inputs)? If you are using a HPC to run your calculations, can you also show the input you are using for that as well (the command you send to the scheduler to run your calculation)?

I have been trying to perform steered QM/MM MD. I have restarted again from
the previous SMD file to increase the run time, but this type of error is
showing after some steps, and the run is halted in between.
